Lets face it theres a massive shortage of batting talent in this country. In the past we always had 1-2 international quality batsmen who covered up for all the other losers carrying along. Right now, we are left with just the useless ones. 

I dont think theres some MASSIVE injustice being meted out to the youngsters on bench. If they really were THAT bright they already would have found place. Lots of keepers were hyped on these boards and none of the replacements for K Akmal worked out. These TTFs indeed are best of this lot we got right now. There's no other international team as bold as us in trying youngsters. Most of our bowlers get into the team way earlier than they would have found place in any other team. So I don't see any reason why PCB would be reluctant to give similar chance to batsmen?

Its just one of those periods where we don't have TALENT. Yes, blunt, but we dont have it. We have the best coach in cricketing circuit, so I dont see how any more training/drills would have helped. They just dont have it. Until we unearth at least one Saeed Anwar, Inzi, Miandad or Yousaf level player, the batting unit will never be built. We need a batting genius.

Please forgive my pessimism.
